good to see dev still stopping by here, i skipped last 2 updates waiting for 0.5 version, since old saves won't be compatible with it also for being tired of the wait on saving/loading proccess.
also i wanted to ask does. purchasing seeker/core soul tiers once, give one access to all available sets, or does one have to purchase each set individually when they come out or during limted time offer ?
Seeker/Core tiers give access to almost all sets. Search for "Sets" posts to see the list on my patreon page.

Cyberslayers 0.5.1 E.T.A


In view of the progress I have made and the roadmap I have drawn up, I am able to provide you with the following information.

The development of version 0.5.1 is taking a significant amount of time.

Content with Lucius is nearing completion. It features nice scenes with Aline and Kassiah and will "feel" complete in the next update.

What remains to be made is the content in the Dark Tunnel (Seeds) as well as the new zone including new monsters and content with a supermutant.

Without further ado, I can tell you that this development will take some time. I'm guessing around three months, with an estimated release date in June.

I haven't added content on top of content, and I'm sticking to the program, but my taste for detail and quality demands time and energy

In view of the complex tasks involved, and so as not to compromise my sanity by putting myself under pressure, I therefore estimate a “broad” deadline of three months. It could be...it could be shorter but I don't want to make any promises.

I know that's an extremely long time, but I really want to mark the occasion of this new chapter in the game.

With this time, I'll be able to work actively but calmly to create beautiful scenes and good gameplay.

The next few weeks are going to be demanding, and I don't want to fall into the trap of rushing things.

Indeed, the choice of new monsters and the choreography of combat and events require a fairly high level of concentration. This goes hand in hand with a balanced life, which can only be achieved with a little pressure, without it becoming a chore.



I think that certain stages of the game require a lot of attention, and the progress of the story here has to be successful to maintain interest.

I wanted to share this with you, preferring to be sincere about the realities of your investment (whether financial or simply by supporting me with your follow-through).

See you soon for more information.

Maelion I read your Patreon posts recently and saw the work on the slow loading/saving. I debugged that myself previously and fixed it without needing to debloat the load/save files.

A big problem is that when displaying the screen with the saves, RPG maker loads all the entries for every entry, resulting in quadratic behavior, which really hurts with large numbers of saves (I'm up to 100 something as I like to save a lot due to lack of gallery). I put a cache in place that only reloads the list of saves if the cached list is older than 5 seconds:

This is a diff on www/js/rpg_manager.js, I'd attach the full file for those not knowing diff, but apparently .js files are not allowed. With this change the load/save menu opens pretty much instantly for me.

Met the subway guy once, got molested, went to the bathroom etc.. but now she doesn't wanna take the morning subway to the police station. How can I continue that?
same thing with rat quest to get to red district. police patrol missions only offers to check for pick pocketers in the subway, but not to actually patrol the station.

For the Subway Guy (Rudy), if you go to the bathroom, that ends his route for now. I have been pushing the Dev for more Rudy content for a while, though!

As for the Patrol missions, that's exactly what should be happening. Make sure you don't take the bribes in order to advance the story. I believe you have to patrol around 5 times.

May I ask about Fred content?

I distinctly remember Maelion saying something about continuing his route in 0.5...
Some of the most important routes are planned in the 0.5 serie with a Chapter 2 (I'm thinking about Rudy, Fred...).
Since I will open the Red District, some plots will happen there.
Now I'm still focusing on the main story, finishing Lucius Arc with Kassiah.
It took weeks but the scenes are IMO pretty hot and almost complete.
Real soon I will expand the dark tunnels missions and open the dark zone. There is still around two big months of work I guess.

quick question: are there any missable scenes that would make a new run worthwhile? I basically went for full corruption and as many scenes as possible, but I don't remember if I took any route that locks out other routes/scenes

Cyberslayers uses RPGM, not RenPy.

So whatever is causing those glitches doesn't seem to be engine specific.
Which in turn makes it hard to help you pinpoint the problem.

It might be a GPU driver issue, it might be a system/OS problem (maybe Windows Font Cache?), it might even be faulty RAM, a faulty mainboard and/or GPU hardware failure.

Here are some things you might want to try:

First, check that you use a "proper" resolution for your monitor (so unless it's widescreen: 1080p, 1440p or 2160p/4K).
Second, try to stick to fixed scaling (100%, 125%, 150%), no custom scaling.

Downgrade NVidia driver to 566.45 (last stable driver):
- Uninstall the NVidia App
- Run DDU in Windows Safe Mode:
- Install 566.45: (from there you can choose to d/l from Nvidia directly)

Check/Fix Windows:
Open an Admin CMD and run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow .

Repair Windows Font Cache:


RAM check:
(use 1usmus v3 config with at least 25 cycles)

VRAM check:
(choose the VRAM test)

Thanks for the post. So realistically this is the only update we will be getting this year.

I'm confused on how to make a build to keep Aline pure. Do you just buy all the Physical and Mental skills and avoid Lust and Lewdness trees?

The tutorial makes it sound like you can get Deviant traits without breaking the barrier of Deviancy, but how?

How to do the spiciest pure route?
